BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION (1) Field of the Invention.

The disclosure relates to brassiere device and more particularlypertains to a new brassiere device for storing objects in a brassiere.The device includes a pair of pouches, each integrated into a respectivecup, and a pair of closures to close the pouches. Each of the pouchescan store objects and each of the pouches protects the objects frommoisture.

(2) Description of Related Art including Information Disclosed Under 37CFR 1.97 and 1.98.

The prior art relates to brassiere devices including a variety ofbrassieres that have at least one pocket integrated therein for storingobjects. The prior art discloses an undergarment that has a pocketintegrated therein. In no instance does the prior art disclose abrassiere that has water proof pouches integrated therein.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above bygenerally comprising a brassiere that has a pair of cups such that thebrassiere can be worn as a female undergarment. Each of the cups has anopening extending into an interior of the cups. A pair of pouches iseach integrated into a respective one of the cups. Each of the pouchesis aligned with the opening in the respective cup to receive objects forstorage. A pair of closures is each slidably integrated into arespective one of the cups. Each of the closures is aligned with theopening in the respective cup for opening and closing the opening.

There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more importantfeatures of the disclosure in order that the detailed descriptionthereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that thepresent contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There areadditional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafterand which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.

The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features ofnovelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out withparticularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of thisdisclosure.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING(S)

The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than thoseset forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to thefollowing detailed description thereof. Such description makes referenceto the annexed drawings wherein:

FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a brassiere pocket assemblyaccording to an embodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 2 is a front phantom view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 3 is a back cut-away view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 4 is a perspective in-use view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through4 thereof, a new brassiere device embodying the principles and conceptsof an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by thereference numeral 10 will be described.

As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 4, the brassiere pocket assembly10 generally comprises a brassiere 12 that has a pair of cups 14 suchthat the brassiere 12 can be worn as a female undergarment. Each of thecups 14 has an opening 16 extending into an interior of the cups 14.Additionally, each of the cups 14 has an upper side 18, a front surface20 and a back surface 22, and the opening 16 in each of the cups 14extends along the upper side 18 of the cups 14. The opening 16 in eachof the cups 14 has a first bounding edge 24 and a second bounding edge26.

A pair of pouches 28 is provided and each of the pouches 28 isintegrated into a respective one of the cups 14. Each of the pouches 28is aligned with the opening 16 in the respective cup 14 to receiveobjects 30 for storage. Additionally, each of the pouches 28 ispositioned between the front surface 20 and the back surface 22 of therespective cup 14. Each of the pouches 28 is comprised of a fluidimpermeable material to protect the objects 30 stored therein frommoisture. Each of the pouches 28 has a top end 32 that is open, and thetop end 32 is aligned with the opening 16 in the respective cup 14.

A pair of closures 34 is provided and each of the closures 34 isslidably integrated into a respective one of the cups 14. Each of theclosures 34 is aligned with the opening 16 in the respective cup 14 foropening 16 and closing the opening 16. Each of the closures 34 comprisesa first portion 36 that is coupled to the first bounding edge 24 of theopening 16 in the respective cup 14. Additionally, each of the closures34 comprises a second portion 38 that is coupled to the second boundingedge 26 of the opening 16 in the respective cup 14. The first portion 36forms a fluid impermeable seal with the second portion 38 when theclosures 34 are in a closed position. Each of the closures 34 maycomprise a re-sealable slide zipper, similar to those found on plasticsandwich bags or the like.

In use, the brassiere 12 is worn in the conventional manner of wearingbrassieres and objects 30, such as currency, car keys or other smallobjects, can be stored in either of the pouches 28. Additionally, thepouches 28 inhibit the objects 30 from becoming wet from perspiration orother source of moisture. The closures 34 can be closed to fully protectthe objects 30 in the pouches 28 from being exposed to moisture. Thebrassiere 12 can be laundered and cared for in the same manner as aconventional brassiere.

With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized thatthe optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodimentenabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials,shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, aredeemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and allequivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings anddescribed in the specification are intended to be encompassed by anembodiment of the disclosure.

Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of theprinciples of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications andchanges will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is notdesired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operationshown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications andequivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of thedisclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used inits non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word areincluded, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. Areference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not excludethe possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless thecontext clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
